Consider the Stars
A sky of celestial wonder
The night sky
a canvas of celestial wonder
painted upon a midnight black
The moon, a luminous sphere
shares the sky with the stars
The brightest stars
the ones more faint,
all illuminate the sky
These same stars have been with the same earth,
the same moon
have seen civilizations come and go
the prehistoric man, the ancients, the curious eyes of modern man,
they've all stared up at this same sky, at these same stars
These stars have seen humans and their technology evolve over time
One day, life might parish, but the stars will remain
for just another billion years, another trillion more
Count the stars
ten, one hundred, a thousand
billions, and trillions
a number too infinite for the mind to comprehend
The distance between galaxies too unfathomable
Is there life out there?
What's beyond the stars I see?
I wonder if there is a being somewhere out there
in a distant galaxy wondering the same thing
as they gaze up at the stars
